The "Confidence Building Through Cultural Protection" (CBCPK) project, funded by the EU and implemented by UNDP in Kosovo, in close cooperation and consultation with local communities, has renovated, upgraded and beautified the following sites: * For UNDP, references to Kosovo shall be understood to be in the context of Security Council resolution 1244 (1999). TOWN PARK RECONSTRUCTION The town park has existed since just after World War II, during which time Kamenicë/Kamenica became an urban hub. Over the years the park was reconstructed several times, starting in the 1960s when the National Liberation War memorial was built, which is located in the center of the park. The park is located in the old town center, besides the river Krivareka, with good accessibility and several entry points from the surrounding roads. Within the frame of the CBCKP project, the park benefited from a new urban design including pathways, benches, a sport's field and a children's playground. The existing trees and plants were preserved and new ones added to enhance the park landscape.

  • Serb Community
    COMMUNITY PROFILE: SERB COMMUNITY 1. POPULATION SIZE AND LOCATION The Serbs comprise the largest minority community in Kosovo. The 2011 Kosovo census did not take place in northern Kosovo, and was boycotted by considerable numbers of Serbs in southern Kosovo. Therefore, estimates of the Serb community in Kosovo have to be based on alternative sources. Based on OSCE 2010 Community Profiles and 2013 OSCE Municipal Profiles, around 146,128 Serbs are estimated to reside in Kosovo, making up around 7.8% of the total population. The Serb community is approximately equally divided between northern Kosovo (70,430 Serb residents) and southern Kosovo (75,698 Serb residents). There are a total of ten municipalities where the Serb community constitutes a numerical majority. The largest Serb communities reside in the four northern municipalities, and in the southern municipalities of Gračanica/Graçanicë and Štrpce/Shtërpcë. Smaller Serb communities can also be found throughout Kosovo below the Ibar River, particularly in Central and Eastern Kosovo.

Human Geography (Specialization: Conflicts, Territories and Identities) Centre for International Conflict Analysis and Management Nijmegen School of Management Radboud University Nijmegen Supervisor: Dr. Gearoid Millar Assistant Professor Centre for International Conflict Analysis and Management Radboud University Nijmegen Bridging Separated Communities With the Use of Common Instrumental Goals Preface and Acknowledgements Being a master student of Human Geography (specialization: Conflicts, Territories and Identities) at the Radboud University Nijmegen has been for several reasons a great and unforgettable experience. The academic environment was very stimulating and the post- graduate courses offered by the Centre for International Conflict Analysis and Management gave me a solid basis—particularly in the field of peace and conflict studies. Something I have learned in this period is that every violent conflict is a complex and multilayered phenomenon, which has to be thoroughly analysed in order to be properly understood. Moreover, during the study trip to Northern Ireland I had the opportunity to see for myself how easily people involved in a conflict start perceiving their neighbours not as persons but as dehumanized enemies. This experience and the knowledge gained over this year were very useful for the last and most important part of my studies: the field research in a conflict zone and the writing of the master thesis.

  • Contemporary Changes in the Ethnic Structure of the Population in the Autonomous Province of Kosovo and Metohija
    Bulletin of Natural Sciences Research DOI: https://doi.org/10.5937/bnsr10-25625 Vol. 10, No. 2, 2020, pp. 23-27. Original Scientific Paper CONTEMPORARY CHANGES IN THE ETHNIC STRUCTURE OF THE POPULATION IN THE AUTONOMOUS PROVINCE OF KOSOVO AND METOHIJA SAŠA MILOSAVLJEVIĆ1, JOVO MEDOJEVIĆ1 1Faculty of Sciences, University in Priština – Kosovska Mtrovica, Kosovska Mtrovica, Serbia ABSTRACT Twenty years (1999 - 2019) after the end of the conflict in the Autonomous Province of Kosovo and Metohija, it can be stated that nowhere in Europe is there such ethnic segregation of the population as is the case with the AP of Kosovo and Metohija. Following the withdrawal of pumped security forces from the entire territory of Kosovo and Metohija and the entry of the United Nations peacekeeping force into the Serbian Autonomous Province, Kosovo Albanians carried out their persecution from Kosovo through terrorist attacks on Serbs and other non- Albanian populations (Montenegrins, Gorans, Roma, Ashkali) carried out their persecution from Kosovo and Metohija and fundamentally changed the ethnic structure of the Province. An insight into the majority of 223.081 exiles and displaced persons from Kosovo and Metohija indicates an exodus against the Serbs. The number of displaced Roma, Ashkali and Egyptians is estimated at about 100.000. The mass persecution of the Serb and other non-Albanian populations has resulted in tremendous changes in the ethnic structure of the Province, which today, with 93% of the total population, is dominated by Albanians, while other ethnic communities have a participation of 7%. Кeywords: Population, Ethnicity, Kosovo and Metohija. destroyed. The same tendencies have continued to this day, along INTRODUCTION with the desecration of cemeteries, stoning and burning of the returnees’ homes (Medojević & Milosavljević, 2019a).

Previously he worked on projects like the World Conference on Dialogue Among Religions and Civilizations held in Ohrid in 2007. He lives in Skopje, Republic of Macedonia. III. THE CASE OF KOSOVO AND METOHIA Just as everyone could sense that the end of the horrifying conflict of the early 1990s was coming to an end, another one was heating up in the Yugoslav kitchen. Kosovo is located in the southern part of former Yugoslavia, in an area that had been characterized by hostility and hatred practically ‘since the beginning of time.’ The reason for such mixed negative feelings came due to the confusion about who should have the final say in the governing of the Kosovo principality.
